The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic

Product Information

I powered through this book in only a few days and sessions. I am already a big fan of Mike Duncan's previous work on History of Rome and Revolutions. This seems like a natural and logical extension of his work. As he points out this is an understudied period of Roman History often only mentioned as a prelude to the stories of Caesar, Pompey, and Crasus. As Mr. Duncan points out in the intro to his book many peoplr including himself (myself included) see comparisons and similarities between Rome and the contemperary US. This book covers the events of the era I find most similar to our current political situation. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it, and it is clear the Mike Duncan takes this to heart and was cognisent of it while writing this book.

This book is obviously intended to answer Mr. Duncan’s podcast participants most pressing, and frequent, questions: “While producing The History of Rome I was asked the same questions over and over again. Is America Rome? Is the United States following a similar historical trajectory? If so where does the US stand on the Roman timeline?” Waters, Michael (9 February 2018).

Unfortunately for Marius, his lust for glory was never satiated. Throughout the Marius storyline Duncan explores one of his subordinates, Lucius Cornellius Sulla, who Marius would often grow jealous of but who was so talented he could hardly be brushed aside. Sulla was often given credit for the capture of Jugurtha, something that Marius felt should be credited to himself as he was the commander at the time. And so as Marius’s star faded and Sulla’s grew, he became anxious to re-prove himself as one of the greatest figures in Roman history. He would, but his actions would be infamous, and upon his death his rival Sulla would spread his bones across the land and try to erase as much of him from the history book as he could.
